I remember playing eq on a Pentium III so you should be able to handle it on any current integrated chip. | |||

So it's been a few months since I posted here. Since then I solved my initial problem (crashes) by using a fresh eqclient.ini file.
Now I'm trying to figure out how to play this game in full screen. What I'm stuck with now is a virtual desktop that will only launch EQ (login screen) in very specific resolutions, none of which match my native monitor resolution of 1680x1050. These resolutions can be seen when going into the options prior to logging in. Trying to change the resolution to anything else than one of the preset values results in a crash for me with this being spammed in the terminal. Quote:
Link What I've tried: - wine explorer /desktop=shell,1680x1050 and launching eqgame.exe - patchme through command prompt. - editing the eqclient.ini file windowed mode parameter - changing winecfg virtual desktop to 1680x1050 (which results in failure to launch eqgame.exe) Any ideas on how to get around this? | |||

Figured it out. I have totally overlooked starting the game in windowed mode for whatever reason. Wracked my brains for hours looking for a workaround and turns out the .exe starts just fine in any resolution as long as the game client is in windowed mode. Once I established that it launched, I made my virtual desktop match my native resolution and simply used alt-enter once logged in and bam I got a complete full screen of EQ without any of it being taken up by the linux desktop. Made me very happy indeed [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
Now the only issue is starting the .exe again after you've finished playing, as it will start in full screen mode. You could simply toggle the game back to windowed mode every time before you logged out but that would be extremely tedious and if you accidentally forget it would mean going back to the .ini file to edit it. However with a couple lines I was able to streamline that process using Vim. Here's how my startup looks like: Code:
cd [PathToEQDirectoryHere] vim eqclient.ini -c :%s/WindowedMode=FALSE/WindowedMode=TRUE/g -c :wq taskset -c 0 wine eqgame - patchme | ||

I seem to be having an issue in that the EQ window will load up but will show the error message
"Error in your GUI XML files. Check UIErrors.txt" The error log shows this: UIErrorLog created at Wed Apr 04 18:55:49 2018 [Wed Apr 04 18:55:49 2018] Warning: file EQLSUI.xml not found in directory UIFiles\default\.

But the file is located in the correct place and I can open it fine | ||

This is happening because your running WINE from the wrong directory just had to fix this on mine. Open your terminal and cd into your eq directory then run "wine eqgame.exe patchme" and as long as theres no other issues(like a blank server list) it'll work like it should perfect. If you want a shortcut, this is what im using: Make a .desktop file, open a text editor and paste the following: Code:
[Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=EverQuest Comment=Everquest Icon=PATH TO ICON Exec=/usr/bin/wine eqgame.exe patchme Terminal=false Type=Application Path=/home/USER/PATH TO EQ FOLDER Name[en_US]=EverQuest Lubuntu 16.04 32bit | |||

Hello all,
I have a simple questions, which I can't seem to figure out on my own. I have P99 running on another laptop, however it's on its way out. I managed to restore another laptop using Linux Mint (Cinnamon 32-bit) and decided to attempt to put P99 on it. I believe I've gotten everything up and running aside from getting passed the Character Screen due to out of date spells. I've downloaded the new files (V45) and extracted them to my EQ files, though I still get the out of date notification. I did want to state that after running the V45 file, I noticed the background did change (from werewolf to Kunark images) but nothing else after that. What could I be doing wrong? I feel that I'm missing something incredibly simple. Any help is much appreciated. Thank you! | ||

Are you making sure that the setup.dll is named with the correct case?

Would you be able to elaborate a bit more? I'm unsure what you mean by correct case, my apologies.
I don't recall having done anything special with that .dll file. Perhaps I missed something within the installation instructions. | ||
